  • Announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Matachewan First Nation of Matachewan, Ontario and the Mattagami First Nation of Gogama, Ontario
  • Regarding the Montrose Property
  • MOU will serve as a framework to govern the relationship between Explor and the First Nations in accordance with their intention of further building a relationship

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC–(Sept. 29, 2017) – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQB:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Matachewan First Nation of Matachewan, Ontario and the Mattagami First Nation of Gogama, Ontario (the “First Nations”), with respect to the Montrose Property.

The MOU will serve as a framework to govern the relationship between Explor and the First Nations in accordance with their intention of further building a relationship characterized by cooperation and mutual respect, in connection with the development of the Montrose Property. This represents an important milestone in moving the project forward and we welcome our new partners.

The MOU sets out the areas in which Explor and the First Nations have agreed to work together notably on mutual key interests such as environmental protection, employment and business opportunities, education and training for the First Nations communities.

Chris Dupont, President and CEO of Explor Resources, stated that “Explor is committed to working in partnership with the First Nations in the development of the Montrose Property. Explor looks forward to building a strong relationship with the First Nations that will be beneficial to both parties.”

In order to instill a relationship with the First Nations, Explor will issue 500,000 common shares to both the Matachewan and the Mattagami First Nations. This issuance of equity enables the Matachewan and the Mattagami First Nations to become shareholders and participate in the success of Explor Resources as Explor moves the Montrose Project to the next phase in the development of the property. This issuance of shares is subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities.

The Montrose property consists of 20 mining claims (217 units) located in the Montrose and Midlothian Townships in the Timmins-Porcupine Mining Camp for a total of approximately 3,472 hectares.

The Montrose property is contiguous to the North and East of the former producing Stairs Mine property where widespread alteration, generally within sediments, occurs proximal to felsic volcanic contacts. Alteration consists of wide zones of carbonate/pyrite alteration +/- silification and can obtain widths up to 100-200 m with more intense internal zones of sericite alteration and green mica alteration within the broad carbonate alteration. Gold valeurs are found most commonly with quartz ankerite veins but can also occur in massive sulphide veins, chromic-pyrite veins and sericite alteration.

Explor Resources Inc. is a publicly listed company trading on the TSX Venture (EXS), on the OTCQB (EXSFF) and on the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges (E1H1).

HPQ $HPQ.ca to Commence Drilling on Roncevaux Property to Delineate a #Quartz Resource as Feed for High Purity Silicon Metal Production

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:28 AM on Thursday, September 28th, 2017

Hpq large

  • Will commence a 2,000 metres diamond drill program during Q4 2017
  • To delineate a quartz (SiO2) resource on our Roncevaux Quartz property located in Matapedia in the Gaspe region of Quebec

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Sept. 28, 2017) – HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to advise shareholders the company will commence a 2,000 metres diamond drill program during Q4 2017 to delineate a quartz (SiO2) resource on our Roncevaux Quartz property located in Matapedia in the Gaspe region of Quebec. 2014 quartz sampling and analysis work done by the company revealed that quartz from the property is of exceptional purity, suitable for high purity quartz applications and as raw feed for the production of silicon metal. The corrected silicon dioxide average for the 20 samples assayed was 99.65%, ranging from 99.37% to 99.86% SiO2 (December 16, 2014 PR).

Since Sept 2016, Pyrogenesis has been using the Gen 1 PUREVAPtm to transform Roncevaux SiO2 (Quartz) into 3N+ Purity Silicon Metal (99.97% Si) (September 19, 2017 PR, May 16, 2017 PR, January 26, 2017 PR, November 29, 2016 PR, November 2, 2016 PR and September 29, 2016 PR). The material produced using our Roncevaux SiO2 (Quartz) with the PUREVAPtm exceeds the highest purity level of the Metallurgical Grade Silicon Metal (Mg Si) industry, a US$5.5 billion dollar per year industry1.

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of HPQ Silicon stated, “Delineating a quartz resource that can be used as the feed for our PUREVAPtm Quartz Reduction Reactors is a crucial first step towards a PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment). Having our own quartz deposit would fulfill our plans to make HPQ a vertically integrated solar grade silicon metal company.” Mr. Levasseur also stated, “In addition to the quartz, we will also be testing the gold potential of the property, as documented in past exploration.”

DRILL PROGRAM DETAILS AND OBJECTIVES

The Diamond Drill Program will commence with a minimum of 2,000 metres of drilling in 32 holes along the 400 metres of the known surface strike of the quartz vein. The objective will be to delineate a quartz resource of at least 650,000 tons to a depth of 50 meters. Chemical analyzes and characterization tests will be completed on drilled cores. The Company has applied for the permits required to cut trees and build an access lanes for the drill rig.

Furthermore, two 50-ton bulk samples of quartz will be excavated and stockpiled on the property. This material will be used as additional raw feed for metallurgical testing using HPQ Gen 2 PUREVAPtm a 1/250 scale model of our planned Gen 3 PUREVAPtm, a 200 tonnes per annum (tpa) Pilot Plant under fabrication (September 19, 2017 PR).

ABOUT THE RONCEVAUX QUARTZ PROPERTY

During 2014, sampling and analysis done by the company revealed the Roncevaux quartz is of exceptional purity suitable for both high purity quartz applications and as raw feed for the production of silicon metal. The corrected silicon dioxide average for the 20 samples assayed is 99.65 %, ranging from 99.37 % to 99.86 % (December 16, 2014 PR).

In March 2015, HPQ received third party validation of the potential of the material when a major Silicon Metal Producer expressed an interest in the High Purity Lump Quartz material from the Roncevaux property, after our material successfully passed their rigorous testing protocols (March 2, 2015 PR).

RONCEVAUX GOLD EXPLORATION

In addition to delineating the quartz vein, the Company intends to undertake a gold prospecting campaign on the property that will include sampling of mineralized outcrops and geochemical soil surveys. The Roncevaux project area was initially prospected for its gold potential. In 1992, prospector M. Beaulieu found and sampled a white quartz vein on the southern part of the property that had a thickness of about 3.60m outcropping along a small feeder stream to the nearby Roland Creek. This occurrence showed significant anomalous gold values from outcrops of up to 1,51g/t Au. Core samples from 4 short holes drilled in the structure returned gold assays of 8,26 g/t Au, 0,58 g/t Au, 0,49 g/t Au and 0,34 g/t Au from unspecified core length. (GM 57622 Beaulieu 1992)
